The problem wasn't that the pilots were unable to snag the parachute, the problem was that the parachutes failed to deploy. So instead of having the helicopter spare the capsule from a 22mph parachute controlled descent, the capsule hit the earth at around 120mph.

Frances (the only time a "France" has been dangerous)

I tried to post the image, which is a bitmap (.bmp). The photo upload lists a bunch of "valid file extensions", including .bmp -- but then the site tells me it only accepts .jpg or .gif. WTF?

Well, you dial-up guys are saved a huge hassle. Check out this pic of Frances

ED -- make sure you see it full-size (if you're using IE, hover the mouse over the image until the 4-arrow "expand" icon appears in the lower right corner of the image, then click that icon.)

Just ran across this picture on a real estate ad in East Bay, CA. Hint, look out the window. If you don't believe me, check the link.
